Easily Carpenter’s worst film by a county mile


Not a redeemable moment in this turkey of a movie if you ask me. Jeff Bridges has never been more wooden and the plot is non-existent. Thank God Mr Carpenter stayed away from the romance genre after this because it would have ruined his career. Long story short....avoid this at all costs.

this is definitely not even in his bottom half. great film with excellent direction and performances.

Jeff Bridges is supposed to be wooden in this. He plays an alien that does not experience human or any other emotions whatsoever and does not understand them. Sounds you didn't even watch the movie.

This movie is awesome and worth watching.

Um, Jeff Bridges is so "wooden" here BECAUSE HE'S PLAYING A FUCKING ALIEN!!!

And this film is GREAT! One of my personal favourites of Carpenter's. And that theme tune!
